Description
Don’t tell her she needs to find closure. Don’t ask her to forgive and forget. When Kim was just 22, her older brother, Ron Goldman, was brutally killed by O.J....
show more1) Kim’s letter to Simpson in jail, attempting to meet with and talk to the killer behind bars. Kim’s motivation for writing the letter and setting up a meeting with Simpson.
2) Kim’s private and revealing conversation with Simpson’s attorney, Yale Galanter, and the compromising terms Galanter set forth as part of their agreement to meet the killer in jail.
3) Kim suffered first, second and third degree acid burns on her face, neck and eyes from a car accident with a drunk driver when she was 13 years old, leaving her with massive scars. Her brother Ron pulled her from the wreckage. The impact that event had on her confidence and self-image at such a young age.
3) Kim’s father’s cancer and his identifiable mustache. When Kim was a toddler, her father went through chemotherapy losing his hair, most notably his mustache. That mustache now symbolizes to Kim that Fred is “cancer free”.
4) Kim’s kidnapping. Telling her children that their father didn’t want them, Kim’s birth mother kidnapped Kim and Ron away from their father when they were 4 and 7, keeping them for a few days until Fred was able to obtain an order from the court to get his children back.
5) Killer in the parking lot. Kim contemplated running Simpson down in a parking lot as she saw him one day, alone, vulnerable, standing before her car.
6) Challenges of balancing public and private life. Pursuing justice in the country’s most famous case while raising a child as a single parent, earn a living, and advocate for victims’ rights, has been challenging.
7) Closure, forgiveness and the healing process. Kim’s perspective on these topics is different from many others. She hates the word “closure” and certainly can’t forgive someone for murdering her brother in cold blood. For Kim, healing means fighting and forging ahead in a world she knows will never be the same without her loved one.
